Here are the main characters in Zelda: The Minish Cap.
Link-The hero that you play in the game is Link. He is the grandson of the
blacksmith and lives with him in the Southern Hyrule Fields. He and zelda are good
friends, so it is no suprise that when he is invited to the Piccori Fair with Zelda
and Zelda is turned to stone, he is the one in charge of saving her.
Master Smith- I believe he has a name, I don't think they've mentioned it though.
He's the grandfather of Link and gives Link his first sword, The Smith's Sword.
Princess Zelda- Princess Zelda is the daughter of the King and Link's best
friend. She is turned to stone by the evil Vaati and it is up to Link to save her. Zelda
gives Link his first [puny] shield.
Vaati-Once a lowly apprentice, he is now an evil man who is trying to get the mystical
light force and unleash evil throughout the land by breaking the Piccori Blade.
Ezlo-Once a master of Minish Lore and Power as well as Vaati's former master, he is now a hat (due to
a curse) and finds Link in Minish Woods. He is wise as well as can turn Link
to minish size. However, he will give you much verbal abuse and point out the
obvious many times on your quest.
The Picori- Also known as the Minish, these tiny creatures saved the humans
many years ago with the Picori Blade and light force gifts. They are very tiny and
are only seen by children. They live not only in Minish Woods, but everywhere in Hyrule.
Melari-Melari is a chief Minish Blacksmith living on Mt Crenel. He lives in a
Minish-sized mine and can reforge the broken Picori Blade.
